Book Description
This book offers an updated and revised version of a previously published book with new contributors and a focus. The first edition of this book was published in 1982 and focused on orthopaedic traumatology. At that time, there were no other textbooks that addressed the specific topics of external fixation in the acute setting. This new edition will focus on external fixation as a whole in the acute setting of lower-extremity trauma, including the pelvis as well as concepts that are regaining favour such as limb lengthening and deformity correction through external fixation. Additionally, this textbook will include input from podiatric surgeons with extensive knowledge of the foot and ankle, as well as expertise in acute trauma and limb salvage. Their contributions will provide further insight into applications of external fixation that have been underutilised in the past. This textbook is for surgeons and allied health personnel with an interest in the pelvis and lower extremity treated with external fixation.

Review
From the reviews:
“This is an outstanding textbook about the use of the C clamp, and other external fixators for fracture management of the pelvis, upper and lower extremities, and including the wrist and hand bones. … This is a perfect text for orthopaedic surgeons and residents.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)
“This textbook for junior and senior trauma and orthopedic surgeons details external fixation techniques to manage patients with serious orthopedic injuries to the pelvis, lower limb, and upper limb. … The book includes color surgical photos and b&w diagnostic images, decision algorithms, and photos of equipment.” (Reference & Research Book News, June, 2013)
From the Back Cover
External Fixation in Orthopedic Traumatology 2012th Edition is a textbook that focuses on the use of external fixation in the acute management of patients with serious orthopaedic injuries. The book highlights the indications for external fixation and provides an evidenced based guide to both the specialist orthopedic surgeon and the trainee. The manuscript is organised in 14 chapters covering the indications and surgical techniques for pelvis, lower limb and upper limb injuries, including detailed illustrations and clinical photographs that will enable the reader to rapidly visualise the structure of the construct and to plan the surgery accordingly. More general topics such as damage control orthopedics, the biomechanics of external fixation and medico-legal considerations surrounding the injured patients are also included to provide an overall picture of the Orthopedic trauma patient. The Combined experience of the editors and authors, their involvement in a number of external fixation system designs and their international reputation in the field contribute to making this textbook an essential tool that should be available to all orthopaedic surgeons dealing with injured patients.
About the Author
Dr David Seligson took orthopaedic residency training in the Harvard Combined Program and became interested in medullary nailing of fractures after military service in Vietnam. In his first faculty position at the University of Vermont, he introduced reamed intramedullary fixation into clinical practice. As a Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of Louisville, he has collaborated with the members of the Kuntscher Society for Intramedullary Nailing and subsequently became its president for many years. He also received the 2026 distinguished service citation from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
